No debate this time.... we have won the title and will be back in National 3 North next year.

Great day and great result. Interesting first half. We defended well for 25 minutes before conceding a try and going down 0:5. The turning point was a try by Craig just before half time and two quick ones after the break. All in all we looked like a National 3 side. We defended against the wind in the first half and despite conceding we showed we can hold on against the odds; defending may be tiring but so is attacking for 39 minutes and only crossing the line once! In the second half our quality and fitness showed running in 8 tries and finishing 59:12.

However, we can’t celebrate fully just yet.... we still to retain our 100% home record, we need to reach 100 points for the season and we need to ensure Percy Park do not do the double over us. 2 more games and 2 wins!

The day was capped off when the 2nd and 3rd team results came in. We won both games by good scores, both scoring over 50 points. The second team avenging early season results and cancellations with Mowden putting 10 tries past them and the 3rds putting themselves in a position that looks like a league championship win. Congrats to them both and let’s hope 3TM get their well deserved championship this year.

So all in all a fantastic weekend. There is an article in the Gazette tonight but Andrew from the Gazette has told me that there is a bigger spread tomorrow – so book your Gazette early.
